Psalm 13; Matthew 11:28
Growth Through Grief

Food For Thought

1. When have you felt overwhelming grief that was magnified by a sense of isolation, shame, or abandonment by God? Looking back now, can you see God’s presence in that moment? Why or why not?

2. Why do you think it’s so difficult for us to be open and honest with ourselves and with others when it comes to our struggles? What roles do our culture or past experiences play in this?

3. What are some other passages in Scripture that touch on lament? How can they encourage us when we are struggling to voice our hurts, sins, and grief?

4. What are some ways you can begin to incorporate lament as a part of your soul-care practices?
